Abstract: This study looks at various ways in which waste materials can be put into use in highway construction. It reviews the work of various researchers both locally and internationally on recycled materials such as plastics, glass, scrap tyres and sawdust. Also, it examines the conditions for the general acceptance of recycled materials in highway construction. It also highlights the environmental and economic impacts of recycling for construction works in general and highway in particular.
